Amid controversy over ex-MP Choudhary Lal Singh's upcoming participation in Bharat Jodo Yatra, ex-Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti said, "Rahul Gandhi is out on streets...It doesn't matter to me who's joining him." "What [matters] is the motive," she added. Earlier, state Congress spokesperson Deepika Pushkar Nath resigned, claiming Singh defended those who raped a minor in Kathua in 2018.
